Pembrokeshire / Re: Tracing family in Pembrokeshire -- 18th and 19th centuries
« on: Tuesday 03 May 16 14:33 BST (UK) »I was told that William & Beatrice had 3 children: "Helena Margareta", Norman Harries and John, but was given no birthdates for them. 1911 census has W.H.John & Beatrice in Solva with 3 yr. old "Greta". Birth records have Helen Margaretta John b. 1907 Q3, Rosetta John, Q1 1912 and Norman H. John (Q2 1918), the latter 2 showing mother's m.n. as Harries. I can't locate Beatrice or her siblings in earlier censuses.See other posts about my delay.
Censuses:
1901: Beatrice is in Barry.
1891: The whole family is in St Woollos, Newport
1881: The family is in St Woollos and William is on a ship in Newport
1871 and earlier is difficult.
I have various Master & Mate Certificates, although there are 2 Captain William HARRIES which rather confuses things. One was born in Solva and died at sea in 1878. The other was born in Trevine (Trefin), despite Solva being mentioned in various documents.
I'd really need to make a PDF file of information available to you so you got the bigger picture.
Hope this helps.
